Skydance Acquires 'Bad In Bed' Pitch

EXCLUSIVE:David Ellison’s Skydance Productions has made a preemptive acquisition of Bad In Bed. The comedy pitch will be written by Pamela Falk and Michael Ellis, the scribes behind The Wedding Planner. They describe it as a racy high concept comedy but they are keeping the specifics under wraps. The title makes it seem self evident. Anonymous Content’s Steve Golin and Joy Gorman developed it with the writers and will produce. Skydance principal Ellison and his production president Dana Goldberg made the deal with WME and Anonymous Content. The scribes are separately developing an untitled project with Offspring Entertainment’s Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot, along with Anne Fletcher for Warner Bros. Skydance is co-financing and producing a slew of Paramount tent poles, including the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, the Barbra Streisand-Seth Rogen comedy My Mother’s Curse, the Tom Cruise-starrer One Shot, the Brad Pitt-starrer World War Z and the relaunch of the Jack Ryan franchise that will star Chris Pine.

Coincidence? Nah!!! • on Nov 14, 2011 11:42 am

Funny, I thought the exact same premise and title sold to Our Stories Films a few years ago with Boris Kodjoe starring and Tracey Edmonds producing along with … Anonymous Content? Sounds fishy. Paging Marty Singer!

As one of the original writers on bad in bed that was developed at anonymous content with one of their managers and sold to our stories with Tracy Edmonds as producer and Boris kodjo starring, I am disgusted. I feel bad for the writers of the pitch that skydance just bought. Lawyer up , it’s gonna get ugly
